🛠️ Feature Update: Bringing REST APIs to QRcdr

Moving beyond developer bias: How 12 years of feedback and 1,700+ users shaped our new REST API.

🛠️ Feature Update: Bringing REST APIs to QRcdr

One of the hardest things in product development is deciding which feature comes next. You don't want to build in a vacuum, but you also want to keep the product lean.

For QRcdr, I decided to look back at its history. This project started 12 years ago as a PHP script on CodeCanyon. Since then, 1,700+ customers have shared their needs, frustrations, and ideas.

One request that kept popping up was: "Can I connect this to my other tools?"

So, we just rolled out the REST API functionality. We tried to keep it humble but effective, focusing on what developers actually asked for:

The Endpoints:

  • /me: To keep an eye on account status and usage limits.

  • /qrcodes: To fetch and manage the list of dynamic QR codes programmatically.

  • /{id}/stats: To export scan analytics and integrate them into external dashboards or CRMs.

  • /generate: To create static QR codes on the fly via POST requests.

Beyond the SaaS:
This update isn't just for our direct users. For agencies using our WordPress Plugin license, it means they can now offer API access to their clients, adding a professional layer to their own service offering.

Developer Experience (DX):
Integrating APIs can be a pain, so I added an in-app API Explorer. You can select an endpoint, set the fields, and get ready-to-use code in cURL, PHP, or JS. Plus, we included Live and Sandbox keys to make testing safer.

Is this something that would simplify your workflow? I'd love to hear how you handle QR code integrations or if there's an endpoint we missed that would be vital for your projects.
